Chapter 1 Introduction 6 Overview system net2 is a revolutionary system with hardware and software developed simultaneously to meet the requirements of a modern day access control system. The hardware uses the latest in microchip technology allowing unprecedented levels of speed, resilience and cost. The software is based on the latest Windows interface and is developed to enable powerful functionality whilst maintaining ease of use.

6 An access control system is an investment. The net2 system ensures the future proofing of that investment in several ways: Latest microchip technology offering solid, capable hardware platform Use of FLASH memory allowing easy upgrades Software can be extended in functionality with Modules System can be extended with no redundancy of equipment The system is capable of controlling up to 200 doors and 10,000 users. For systems larger than this please contact the Paxton access support department. Overview net2 hardware Ease of wiring Clearly labelled terminals on every access control unit remove the need for continual referencing to wiring diagrams. Clear colour coding of reader cables leads to fewer mistakes.

7 Diagnostic LEDs An array of LEDs on the control unit indicate the status of key system features. This will aid commissioning and quick diagnosis of any problems should they occur. Chapter 1 Introduction 7 FLASH Memory FLASH memory in the access control units allows the downloading of new firmware to the control units from the PC. This will mean that as new features are added to net2 , systems in the field can be upgraded to allow the use of the latest software features without any changes to the hardware. Open architecture Relay outputs and digital and analogue inputs allow integration with the hardware of other systems. Latest technology State of the art electronic components create a solid hardware platform, which is both high performance and compact. Scaleable architecture The system will be scaleable. The smallest system will be expandable to the largest system using the same hardware building blocks and virtually no redundancy of hardware as the system expands.

8 Communications Very high speed and resilient communications offer real time alarm reporting and the capability for very large systems. Distributed intelligence The net2 single door control units provide full distributed intelligence down to individual doors. This gives greater system resilience and makes support and problem diagnosis easier. Also, event information can be retained when the system is running offline (2,300 events). Multi-technology The same control unit will support magstripe (Clock and data), Wiegand 26bit, keypads and proximity, mixed on a single site if required.
